Although there was noticeable smoke in the air from the forest fires, once we got into the woods, it was barely noticeable. The pace was comfortable - - great for beginners - - and we actually had a brand new AOC member . . . Becky! We hiked from Burnt Hickory Road around the two loops to Dallas Highway, and then we continued on to the Illinois Monument, where Gayle gave us a little history lesson about the battle that took place there. The weather was as comfortable as the pace, encouraging us to peel off our layers as we warmed up from the hills. ~ Joyce
